Excellent write up.

I'm adding to my bungalow because it sits on a hill and alone now until others build around it.

So my house is sitting there sticking it's tongue out at lightning

NLresidentQS:
Hello bosses

How do one install lightning arrestor on a church/mosque that has cross/crescent high up in the towers. You know the sentiment attached to those stuffs.

"So far, studies in Europe and the U.S. have revealed at least 158 contaminants in water that have been associated with PEX, and scientists are still trying to get a handle on where they all come from and how they might affect people."

Jeez!

I never knew this thread could become this boring!

We use to have two, three pages within a few hours in the "good old days"........ but now, we cant even have a 'single page' in 36hrs!

If it continues this way, l bet this wonderful thread, could could go into oblivion in no distant time.

I hope it does not but then, lesson learned: EVERYTHING in Life, comes with it's "[size=14pt]Pros[/size]" and "[size=14pt]Cons[/size]".





Lastpage!

I'll throw this idea out there. I've used this technology before but not in a whole house.

So why do you need to run wires to the switches? All you need are wires to the wall sockets.

nice... but maintenance is our major problem down here

n3xt:
Saw this and had to explain why it is so based on pics attached.

1. Roof gutter drain. It has a direct link to the chamber which is just about 4.5m away which means cleaning won't be an issue.

2. Atrium drain. There's no way you can do the without trenching in pipes under ground. You just have to do it right!

3 & 4. Roof gutter drains. When pipes are exposed, there's tendency it gets damaged during installation or me outline maintenance by a careless or jittery roof climber.

What usually causes blocked drains is a bad network of pipes. A good example is the 2nd to the last picture you showed above. The zigzag nature of the pipes will always cause a major plumbing issue.

Pipes must have free flow and a gentle slope to prevent blockages. When they do, 99.9% of blocked drains can be cleared with a drain rod.

If this is an industrial project, I'll conceal the exposed drain pipes in the roof attic/ceiling spaces (on both ground floor/first floor) for easy maintenance but this is highly impossible in residential builds with less than 4m headroom.

diordaves:
Why do some landlords encase plumbing work in slabs (decking), block work and foundations? Is it for aesthetics? If yes; why is the need for aesthetics so great that the exigencies of such practice are overlooked? If it's a monstrosity of a building, then it's understandable but for a small family bungalow/duplex, a rental property aesthetics alone just don't make sense. What if there is a leak or blocked pipes and drains? This could be messy to remedy or might even affect the structural stability of the building. Or maybe it's just lazy architecture or mechanical design. This practice is even more baffling with rental properties. Please see pix below.
